Milestone
📅 Monthly Report – April 2018
Now that we have Product Updates on WIP, I figured I'd share a monthly report. Here it goes…

- 👩💻 73 new members
- 🤔 136 new questions
- 💬 602 new answers
- 🛠 214 new products
- 🤑 $4,830 total revenue
- 💰 $4,163 MRR
New features
- 🗺 Makers Map – See where everyone is.
- 💌 Product Updates (beta) – Announce new features, monthly reports, etc.
- 🔔 Follow Products – Stay up to date on your favorite products.
Minor Improvements
- Better editing of todo's and answers

What's next?
The coming month I'll focus on improving existing functionality and making WIP more welcoming to new members. Specifically:
- Make the group chat less intimidating to new members
- Officially launch Makers Map
- Fix long-standing bugs and UX problems
- Refactor wipbot code

Really like what you're doing here.
🔥 Make the group chat less intimidating to new members 🔥
I'm not sure if it's just how my brain works, but any Telegram group chat I've tried out has completely fried it within minutes 😅would love to see if you have a fix for this, until then I'll tinker away in the other areas haha.
Pretty sure it's a mind set change. Just dip in and dip out, don't try and catch up on everything.
